IF YOU OWN A TELECASTER AND A SOLDERING IRON, THEN YOU NEED THIS BOOK !!!

Learn step by step how to completely wire a Telecaster and all of the potentiometers, capacitors, switches, ground wires, hot wires, pickups, output jack, and bridge ground. Even if you dont own a Fender, this guide will teach you how to wire a guitar with 1, 2, or 3 pickups. There are a ton of modifications you can do to your guitar for dirt cheap. This book will also show you the secret "hot rod" techniques that the pros use like: coil tapping, coil cutting, phase switching, series wiring, parallel wiring, bridge-on switching, toggle switching, mini toggle switching, varitone switching, 4-way switching, 5-way switching, mega switching, super switching, rotary switching, treble boost/solo switching, blend pots, push pull pots, stacked concentric pots, and much more !!! Plus, you will learn everything you've ever wanted to know about 4-wire humbuckers that can fit into your standard Telecaster body. This book also includes audio files of the hot rod techniques, and hundreds of pictures and diagrams.

SECTION 1: WIRING A TELECASTER
Wiring a Telecaster or Esquire is much easier than you think. I will show you how, step by step. Learn how to install the control plate, pickups, volume and tone potentiometers, selector switch, output jack, wires, knobs, and more !!!

SECTION 2: UNDERSTANDING SWITCHES
Almost every guitar has some type of switch on it. And if you are going to be doing any type of wiring, then you are going to have to know your way around them. Here are the switches discussed in this book: 3-way lever, 4-way lever, 5-way lever, import, toggle, mini toggle, varitone, rotary, mega, super, momentary, and kill switches.

SECTION 3: UNDERSTANDING POTENTIOMETERS
Potentiometers, often referred to as pots, are variable DC resistors. They form the foundation of every good wiring job. This section deals with wiring all types of potentiometers: volume pots, tone pots, blend pots, blender pots, stacked concentric pots, and push-pull pots.

SECTION 4: UNDERSTANDING CAPACITORS
Probably one of the easiest ways to change your guitar’s sound is to change it's capacitor. I am not just talking about adding more or less bass to the sound, but actually changing your guitar’s character. For this task, you are not going to need just any capacitor, but a vintage style one. I will teach you about the infamous Bumblebee capacitors and the Black Beauties, and where to get them at. Plus, you will learn about ceramic , polypropylene, and polyester capacitors, and also treble bleed kits.

SECTION 5: HOT ROD TECHNIQUES
Need to get some more sounds out of your guitar? If so, then try some of the hot rod techniques that the pros use. This section covers volume boosting, phase reversal switches, series/parallel switches, coil tapping, coil cutting, bridge-on switches, volume boost/bypass switches, tbx tone controls, bridge tone controls, treble boost/solo switches, kill switches, 3-volume Telecasters, blender Telecasters, 3 pickup telecasters, bass switches, and everything you have ever wanted to know about 4-wire humbuckers, blade pickups and rail pickups.

SECTION 6: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What the heck are potentiometers and capacitors and what do they do? How do I wire an unkown humbucker with 4 wires? How do I wire a stereo output jack? How do I use a multimeter? What is a low impedance pickup? What is the series link on a pickup? Where can I get cheap parts? What is a reverse wound pickup? What is heat shrink tubing? If you have questions like these, then this section is for you.

SECTION 7: ADDING A DISTORTION PREAMP TO YOUR TONE CONTROL
Sick of hauling around distortion and overdrive pedals to all of your gigs? Why not just add the distortion directly to your guitar's wiring? Seems pretty logical to me. This section will show you how to turn your tone knob into a powerful distortion pedal. Go from a low impedance tone all the way up to a mega overdrive tone with this inexpensive hot rod technique.

SECTION 8: HOW TO MODIFY A BOSS DS-1 DISTORTION PEDAL
You’ve no doubt seen the ubiquitous orange Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal. Universally recognized as one of the best distortion pedals on the market. Now let's modify one and make it sound even better. Change a few parts around and you can go from a classic vintage sound to a powerful modern rock tone.

SECTION 9: ADDING AN ACTIVE PICKUP TO YOUR GUITAR

You are probably used to passive pickups by now, but have you ever played through active pickups, like EMG’s? If not then you need to read this section. Active pickups can provide you with the cleanest noise-free tone that you have ever heard. And if you want a little crunch, its no problem. Crank up the guitar's volume to 10, and now you have some natural distortion added to your tone. Plus, if you use pedals or effects processors, they will shine with active pickups. You can get any tone you want with these 9 volt pickups. And you can add 1 or 2 actives to your guitar pretty easily.

SECTION 10: EXOTIC WOOD PICKUPS

Are you looking for some amazing vintage sounding pickups for your Telecaster? Wood pickups have more color, output, smoothness, sustain, clarity, and are just absolutely stunning. They put out so much tone and power, that many people think they are active pickups. Plus, they are beautiful. I'll tell you what they sound like and where to get them.

SOUND CLIPS
Don't just take my word for it, listen to it. Web addresses are provided in this book that include audio files for some of the hot rod techniques that you might be interested in trying. Do you know which type of wiring sounds better in a pickup: parallel in phase, or series out of phase? Just take a listen, and find out for yourself.
